What are the odds?

BY TARIQ 7P

With just over two months left before the season draws to a close, the top three clubs are battling it out. With only one point between Manchester City and Liverpool it becomes ever more difficult to predict the champions of the English Premiere League 2019. Will Manchester City win their fourth title in a decade? Or will Liverpool finally have a chance of lifting the cup?

This season some results have been staggering and unpredictable, whilst others make a lot of sense. Here we outline the rivalry and the shift of positions in the league table of one of the most interesting cups that brings unrivalled entertainment.

This season has been a bit of a rollercoaster providing some great thrills! There was the unpredictable news with Jose Mourinho's sudden sacking from Manchester United and now their continuing streak of wins and draws since, to transfer news of world class players and rumours to the sacking of Chelsea's Maurizio Sarri.

The winners have been announced for the Carabao Cup as Manchester City stormed into victory after Raheem Sterling’s penalty skipped past the gloves of the Spaniard Kepa Arrizabalaga. In fact, the Spaniard would not make way for his substitute, Willy Caballero, and Sarri stormed into fury due to his player’s stubborn personality. 

As we enter game week 30, the league table hosts Manchester City as first place with 71 points with Liverpool pursing closely behind with 70. Tottenham, Manchester United and Arsenal are currently neck and neck, with an energising game to be hosted on Sunday at the Emirates with Manchester United visiting Arsenal. Be prepared to clench your fists for this tense game! 

However, the most jaw-dropping result of the season was in February’s fixture with Manchester City vs Chelsea. The visitors were demolished 6-0. The top scorer of the season is also very tight, with as little as one goal separating Sergio Aguero from Liverpool’s Pharaoh Mohamed Salah. 

When asked their view of their team, a Manchester United fan said of them “They are one of the greatest teams in the world!” He continues, “there is a chance of winning the UEFA Champions League and I think that tonight we will beat PSG 3-0 to advance to the next round.” A Liverpool supporter said of his team “we have a powerful team and good chance to win the Premiership, yet are players aren’t playing at 110% every match. This is founded as we drew to Man Utd. and Everton, our derby rival.”

What are the odds? Who do you think will be relegated? More importantly, who do YOU think will win? Comment below.
